I have enjoyed dock fishing for years but one thing always bothered me. Are the fish actually here when we are not getting bit?

This answered that question.

This was really simple to build. A small luggage cart, and a crate to hold the black box and a Lithium battery. I only added a second crate to raise the height when standing.

Total investment $1,300.

Makes a simple unit to use on someones boat that doesn't t have livescope..

I've always wondered if this was possible. I've looked around online to see if anyone has tried it even. How heavy is the entire setup?

about 25 pounds.

Look on youtube for portable livescope and see several ideas, some are built on ice chests.

I used an ammo cargo box, easy to drill thru and mount both the screen and modem for transducer . When taking on ones boat without livescope , the ram mount had to be there for my set up . Lots of other methods and options noted on you tube etc.

Ernest, any reports on Lewisville? i may go tomorrow. guessing it will be muddy. i see the dam release is at 660 as of now. if that is the case, i may just go run the carbon out of my old merc just for fun and leave the minners at home!
